The trials for two Virginia teenagers accused of the beating
death of an elderly Tempe man the evening after his granddaughter's
wedding, was set to begin this month, but have been rescheduled for
March.

Kenneth Davis and Vernon Jackson, who were both 16, each have
been charged with first-degree murder in the beating death of
George Baker III, 81, in Lynchburg, Va. on Sept. 5, 2010. A
13-year-old, who police say also participated in the beating, has
been charged with first-degree murder and his trial is scheduled to
begin on Feb. 28.

Police say Davis, now 17, and Jackson attacked and beat Baker in
downtown Lynchburg as he was walking from his hotel to a restaurant
the evening after his granddaughter's wedding. Baker, who lived in
the Tempe Garden Estates neighborhood, died hours later at a nearby
hospital.

Davis' trial will begin March 9, and Jackson's trial will begin
March 14. The Deputy Commonwealth Attorney's Office of Lynchburg
was waiting for forensic lab results to come back, but they would
not have been done in time for January court proceedings.

Davis and Jackson will be tried as adults and are facing life in
prison.

They currently are being held without bond in the Blue Ridge
Regional Jail.
